Update for 09/05/13: Ok so Dale did a little extra work to the car to make sure we had no leaks. Still have a few extras to do, but as of now, nothing major. The car has officially started. He had already pressure tested the fuel system and cranked to build oil pressure. Those ALS seals seat VERY nice on startup, starts nice and easy, no flooding/hard start issues. Needless to say, I am very excited.
Test fitting the intercooler and getting fluid in the motor.
Twins all snuggly. Probably never see them again with the intake in the way.

Soon Soon....cant wait to drive her.
Thing left to do: Fully install intercooler. Install intake. Change oil after initial road test. Install a few fittings. Adjust the power FC.

So as some of you know I have been driving the car this weekend trying to put some miles on it to break in the motor/seals. Everything is working very well so far (knock on wood), still no leaks, temps are better than normal and its very fun to drive 
. I have more stuff that I will be ordering and working on....but for now Im just gonna drive it and enjoy it. 1k mile break in takes forever.
Update for 09/07/13: Installed intercooler, intake (pain in the @$$), temporary couplers, checked and triple checked for leaks or just anything out of the ordinary and then went for a couple test drives. After that we decided it was time to really start putting on the miles to break in the motor. On to the pics:

New hardware for the lip and undertray.
Very clean...and NO LEAKS 
Painted the lip....doesn't look gray anymore.
Some engine pics.
Yep...we were very excited.
